Stillman Dahlias 



Known and Grown the World Over 



STILLMAN DAHLIAS give just as good results in New 

 Zealand as in South Africa. In our own great country 

 they thrive from Maine to California and from Canada to the 

 utmost South where dahlias will do well. From a very small 

 beginning my business has grown until I am proud to say 

 that Stillman Dahlias grow in every State of the Union and 

 in many foreign lands. 



Stillman' s Seedlings Famous on the 

 Pacific Coast 



I congratulate Western connoisseurs on their able champion- 

 ship of my pets, the Dahlias. I am happy that many Still- 

 man Dahlias have won a place of their own on the Pacific 

 Coast. Hardly a day passes when I do not receive words of 

 praise from private growers as to the success that they have 

 had from the seeds I furnished them. For 1922 I am proud to 

 be able to announce a new group of seedlings named in honor 

 of America's five great Lakes. You will be delighted with 

 Stillman's Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake 

 Michigan and Lake Superior. Every one of them is a Gem 

 beyond compare. They will be offered on a very limited 

 scale at $25.00 each. 



SoBClcil Off&t ' * h ave saved with special care, some seeds 



_£_ 1 of this wonderful Great Lakes Set of 



Dahlias which J offer at $25.00 per packet. This is considered 

 "the high water mark" for a packet of seeds, but enthusiastic 

 customers say that they are worth it. 



New Catalogue Ready Soon 



Generally about January 1st, I mail my complete descriptive 

 catalogue, describing hundreds of the finest Dahlias of my 

 own introduction as well as those of specialists the world 

 over. If interested in Dahlias you will welcome this book 

 which is free for the asking. Orders booked any time.
